Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 09/02/2006 04:32 am You're saying it right, but spelling it wrong. Here's the Wikipedia article on the Perentie (type of lizard). Wow, all those years as a kid reading "lizard books" finally pay off... though I seem to remember it being spelled without the "e" at the end. According to Wiki, according to some Australian wives' tales, the perentie is immune to the bite of venomous snakes. This folk lore has not been experimentally tested in light of the discovery that the perentie is itself venomous. Hmm. Sounds like a job for "Mythbusters". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Berry Valued Member United States 394 Posts	Posted 09/02/2006 08:06 am Hey rggoodie, that sounds more like a watchdog, particularly if its bite can be poisonous, than a pet for children. Are you folks the outdoor type and wildlife is a natural for you to handle? For me, I have eaten lizard, had hundreds of encounters with snakes, been stung by scorpions, but am still very fearful of those creatures. Berry Report this Post to the Staff
